If only you could just buy one figure, and customise it yourself...oh, like you can with this new "Halo Rogue Deluxe Armour Pack", the toy manufacturer obviously having been informed by Pantone that there aren't any more colours left to paint the same Spartan with.

It's a "blank" figure, which comes with a variety of weapon and armour configurations for you to play dress-ups with, including all the important Hayabusa gear, and should be out around March.

Available for pre-order now, they'll go on sale in April for ¥3800 (USD$40) a piece. There will be three figures to choose from: King Mickey, Christmas Town Sora (so seasonal!) and Cloud/Vincent.

Pre-order info below.

For a limited time, Blizzard will be selling action figures of their most special fat panda, Chen Stormstout. They'll be $50, and available only from Blizzard's online store, so if this kind of thing sets your commercial klaxons sounding, best be snappy.

This figure, by A-Label, will be out next year in Japan. It stands at around 30cm high, and you should be able to import it for around USD$80-90. You want buttons, you gotta buy them yourself, so that's extra.

There are two tabards ($80) available, one for the Horde, one for the Alliance. They'll fit a large, brave human. There are also two flags, again, one for each faction ($40). At 7m x 5m, these are bigger than a human. And there's a lifesize replica of the Frostmourne sword as well, which is selling for $150 (and is available only in the US, sorry).

All five items will be shipping early next year, so really, the only way they're tying in with the game's fifth birthday celebrations is that this is the week they're taking your money.

Due for release in early 2010, there'll also be a weapons pack, should your diorama be lacking in duel-wielding or grenades. You'll be able to get them anywhere you can already get the previous 1,345 figures in the range.

These are "FuruFuru" figures, which basically means "bobblehead", only more subtle, with everyone's proportions in order. There are two available - the good Professor and Luke - and you can import them for just under $30 each.

Steep, yeah, but on the bright side they're not asking you to solve any stupid match-stick puzzles in the checkout process.

These aren't the kind of things you'd get as a pre-order gift thrown in a cheap plastic frame. No, these are the kind of things that are limited to 100 of each, and will cost you $175.

There are three different prints, and each measures 13x19 inches.

Toy importer Pop Culture Shock do, as they've published a gallery on Capcom's site showing the factory in China where SOTA's Capcom statues are put together and finished off.

Most of the shots depict SOTA's Zangief piece being assembled then painted, but you'll also see Sagat and Darkstalker's Felicia pop up as well.

Makes you wonder why they don't advertise "individually hand-painted" on the box.

Like he asked for an ice cream, and his mother said "no".

Made by Yamato, you can import it when it's released in December for just over $100.

No idea on an exact release date or price, but don't expect this to be either widely-available or cheap.

Both will be out early next year, and expect both to be on the pricey side.

These were on display at the Tokyo Game Show last week, though both a price and release date are TBA. There were two figures shown; Bayonetta herself, and Jeanne, below.

First off the blocks is, of course, the Master Chief. It'll be out towards the end of the year, and being so damn huge, carries a damn huge price tag, at $225. Still, might be worth it if you sit him up on some phone books in the front seat of your car. It'll get you into the carpool lane.

Well, Half-Life as well, but people have done that. And it's "people" - not Valve - that are behind these Team Fortress 2 figures.

Sure, they're not what I'd have chosen - the game's exaggerated art style would be better-suited to vinyl figures - but that's what's called nitpicking. These are still awesome.

Click through for the creator's (Jacob Norad's) website, which has pics of more TF2 figures, including their weapons and accessories. There's even a suite of gadgets for the engineer, like a sentry gun and dispenser.

It's the attention to detail that's key here; not only does it have little ledges for the little hero to clamber upon, if he can ever get to the top there's even a little blue weak spot for him to shank with his trusty sword.

What's more, it was put together by the same guy behind that awesome Link to the Past cross-stitch from earlier in the year. Talk about multi-talented!

They'll be sold for $90 each if you want to buy them individually. And if you do, hey, that's cool. We're not judging. But as you can see, you might want to look at buying both, what with their bases locking together to form a Cammy sandwich.

It's a delightful little Jim Raynor in full combat armour, with its "OMG limited edition value" increased by the giant "Blizz Con" logo on his shoulder plate.

Those at the event will also be able to pick up four other similar figures: Fury of Ragnaros, Ghoulash, Murloc Madness and a blank figure.

Here's Ness. Since we used "exquisite" already, we'll have to use something else for this guy. "Delightful"? Yeah, that'll work.

Ness Figure [Tiny Cartridge]

She'll come in two variants; a standard blue version, and a pink one that goes for an extra $20. Both will be available early next year.
